Gorgoroth Norwegian black metal band drew the attention of the international media in early 2004 after their show in Krakow. They were accused of "offending religious feelings" during the gig as well as suspected of breaching Polish law concerning the protection of animal rights by using severed and impaled heads of sheep as part of their stage design.

 Bad quality but still worth it...... January 8, 2009
I'm a huge Gorgoroth fan and I was really excited to get this dvd even though I'd heard it wasn't very good. Indeed there are a few problems:
1. With all the stage crap in the front (sheep heads, metal grates, etc) and a giant swath of space for cameras to run along, the audience is too far away from the band for a show that size. I think it affected the energy level of the crowd, they don't seem very excited to be there.
2. The band members don't ever look at each other and except for Apollyon and Kvitrafn they all seem totally uncomfortable on that big ole stage. King tries to make eye contact a couple of times with Gaahl and Infernus but sort of sheepishly (lol) and with no response. Poor little sensitive King, he needs to go back to teaching elementary school and playing in a pop band (that was totally uncalled for, King is phenomenal in all his projects and wrote the last 1-3/4 Gorgoroth albums). For some reason he's just really easy to make fun of. I digress.
3. The camera work is poor. The sweeps are always the same speed- fast. There are way too many cuts. The viewer is never allowed to focus in on and engage with what the band is doing. This makes it boring and actually a little irritating to watch.
4. Finally, and most importantly, is that the audio quality is terrible- it's like someone stuck a microphone under the stage and then threw their jacket over it and that's how they got the sound for the video.
There are some big disappointments, like when they build up to the epic guitar riff in Bergtrollets Hevn- Infernus is so muted you can hardly even tell that he's playing. That sort of thing happens a few times. There are moments where Kvitrafn seems to have trouble keeping up and somebody keeps playing out of tune. A lot of Gaahl's vocals sound like an angry little bee. I don't know, maybe he just isn't much good live, but it seems like you could also blame it on the awful audio quality.
Okay, now that I've ripped it apart let me say how much I love this dvd. This is powerful, dark, complex music and there are some beautiful moments where they these guys play super tight. They're all extremely talented, even if not totally connected to what the other is doing. Infernus's guitar work is inspiring. And though some of Gaahl's vocals are indeed bee-ish, he also lets out a couple crazy shrieks that actually made my spine tingle.
I haven't seen them live and probably never will see this particular version of Gorgoroth :( since they split into warring factions, so I'm very happy to have this video. If you have a good system you should be able to overlook the flaws and enjoy it. I just plugged in my big headphones and sat directly in front of my tv and it was 10 times better.
Whew. All that said...if you like black/death metal and can't deal with crap quality production, you should get The Rebirth of Dissection. Brilliant band, brilliant dvd.

That religion is nothing but a human created farce and that this is a show because even Jesus was hung on a medieval tirture device called a cross and he was crucified by the Romans because he stated that the Christians were all hypocrites because they love to stand in the synagogues (which are churches) and pray out loud in order to garner attention to themselves and that there are 'none' righteous no not one.
[..]
Oh, they slaughter sheep in the butcher shops don't they, so what's the difference? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm?
They also slaughter people on the battlefields in Iraq and the USA destroyed that country and its infrastucture for oil. Over 450 BILLION in USA money WASTED!!! I'm reading a book right now about all the taxpayer dollars that have been wasted in the Middle East.
It's hard to believe how great this is July 24, 2008
